About This Item
Description
Monorail is a tiny 0.155-inch bulk patch cable with a huge sound, made for pedalboard, rack and equipment builders. This listing is the 10 ft (3 m) bulk cable, Burgundy version.
Choose the Right Version
This is the 10 ft bulk cable in Classic Burgundy; Monorail is also made in Graphite Black. Pair it with Evidence Audio SIS solderless plugs or ESP soldered plugs for 4 mm cable and cut each run to length. Plugs are sold separately.
Why Players Choose Monorail
Builders choose Monorail bulk cable because it gets out of the way both sonically and physically. At just 0.155 in (about 4 mm) it routes cleanly around a crowded board, and its solid-core IGL construction keeps the signal clean. The solid copper core is also what makes the SIS solderless plug work: the plug's internal threads cut into the copper as it is screwed on.
The solid core holds its shape once routed, which keeps a pedalboard tidy. Monorail is meant for pedalboards, racks and the wiring harness inside a guitar's cavity, not as a guitar-to-amp cable.
How It Compares
Monorail and Blackrock share the same small diameter, but Monorail uses a solid-core IGL conductor while Blackrock uses a stranded conductor with enamel-insulated strands. Choose Monorail for fixed pedalboard and rack patching; choose Blackrock where extra flexibility matters.
Key Features
- High-purity solid-core IGL copper center conductor eliminates strand interaction
- 20 AWG conductor keeps skin-effect distortion outside the audio spectrum
- Parallel-run shield with 98% coverage; coaxial low-capacitance geometry
- Carbon-loaded extrusion for protection from triboelectric noise
- 0.155 in (about 4 mm) outer diameter
- About 40-hour break-in (80% of the change in the first 10 hours)
- Sold as bulk cable in Graphite Black or Classic Burgundy
- Made in the USA from USA-manufactured material
In the Box

FAQ
What colors are available? Graphite Black and Classic Burgundy. This listing is Burgundy.
What is the diameter? 0.155 in, about 4 mm.
Which plugs fit Monorail? Evidence Audio SIS screw-in solderless plugs, or ESP soldered plugs made for cables of about 4 mm, the same size used for Blackrock and Mogami 2314.
Are plugs included? No. This is 10 ft of bulk cable only; plugs are sold separately.
Can I use Monorail as a guitar cable? It is designed for pedalboards, racks and wiring inside a guitar. For a guitar-to-amp cable, choose an Evidence Audio instrument cable such as the Melody or the Reveal.
Monorail or Blackrock? Same small size. Monorail has a solid-core conductor and holds its routing; Blackrock has a stranded conductor and is the more flexible option for tight spaces where the cable moves.
